Dynamic Data screencast is now available!

I made a screencast which walks through a basic scenario of using ASP.NET Dynamic Data in a simple site using Northwind. It's about 17 minutes long. Enjoy and feel free to give any feedback here or in the forum.

Keith: currently, ASP.NET Dynamic Data has no special support for searching. However, being built on the standard ASP.NET platform, techniques that you would use in a regular app should be usable here. That being said, we will investigate whether we do want to have some more specific support for it.

Mike: agreed, the config has become a little too crazy. See my following post; we will get rid of most of the current Dynamic Data config and instead use the MVC routing engine.

Mike: very good point, we should look at making render hints apply a little more generally than is the case today.

LukCAD, not sure I quite understand your question, Would you mind posting it to the Dynamic Data forum (http://forums.asp.net/1145.aspx) with additional details? We’ll try to get you an answer over there. Thanks!

Looks magical! Pardon a very stupid question, but if my ISP has ASP.Net 3.5 running, then is that sufficient for running an app that uses the Dynamic Data extensions (or does the ASP need to have the extensions installed too)?

Paolo, the ISP would indeed need to have the extensions installed. I realize that this is a challenge since this is beta software. At this point, we’re mostly hoping for people to play with it on their own systems so we can get good feedback (and we have been getting quite some!). Please follow up preferably on the Dynamic Data forum.
